Carry-on chances.
I have a basic fare for this Sunday EWR>MIA. I am in Row 8. I plan to bring a carry-on. I actually purchased 3 seats for me and my wife to social distance ($75 r/t). I know we are final boarding and I'd hate to bring my carry-on on and then have to check it do to no room. We are not checking luggage. So my questions are: In Row 8 will I be the last of the basics to board? And with the available seats below do they still have to assign basics their seats? Oh, the other thing I would hate if they took my carry-on and stowed it in the back of the plane Then I would have to wait to get off the plane.

from my experience, try to board as soon as possible, in any way possible...half my flight to ecuador was on board and the bins were already full, due to the gate agents not going around properly and checking in bags...
